dailyoliver Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hello. I am wondering if anyone can help me? I purchased travel insurance from Canada for 30 days. I have since decided to stay another 30 days - but cannot buy travel insurance out of the county. It is also unknown at this stage if they (the original insurer) will extend my policy. I find this ridiculous, but there you go. My main concern is short term medical emergency, or hospitalisation. Q. Does anyone know of a short-term health insurance provider that I can buy coverage inside Thailand? I just need a policy that will come in effect on purchase that would cover me for medical expenses for up to 30 days. I am 46. Thank you. Daily Oliver.

scubascuba3 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Usually your insurance company will let you extend, have you tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Yes, World Nomads. Easily bought online. But most travel policies will let you extend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailyoliver Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thank you - I did check World Nomads but the reviews were terrible. I looks like a fake insurance company that has used the marketing reach of "paid affiliates" bloggers to reach customers. They seem to create a false sense of security by charging a high premium. Hundreds of people have never been able to settle a claim, and in most cases are just ignored or cannot reach them. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/worldnomads.com I will call my original insurer, but may need o find something locally here in TH. If you ave any ideas? Thank you. D/O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It is not a fake site, it is a legitimate company, been around for years. Pretty much any company, the online reviews you will find will be bad as people only post when they have a complaint. Most local Thai travel policies would be for Thais going abroad. AETNA Thailand does have a plan for short term stays in Thailand and that is the only thing that comes to mind that might fit your situation - I know it is for stays of less than 6 months but I don't know if you can get as little as 30 days. https://www.aetna.co.th/en/individuals/health-insurance/individual/detail.aspx?iid=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
